   Wisconsin is wonderfully scenic state and a pleasant place to live, work, go to school, raise a family and retire. We have many natural features as well as manmade structures that are unique to our small part of the world and attract millions of visitors every year.

     Citizens for a Scenic Wisconsin is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing the scenic character of Wisconsin's communities and countryside. We advocate for state and local policies that support scenic conservation and improve community livability. 

    Citizens for a Scenic Wisconsin promotes conservation of natural scenery, scenic approaches to cities and towns, natural vegetation along roads, responsible and planned land use, strong signage control and other measures to preserve natural beauty and distinctive community character. We know that growth and change are inevitable, but believes that ugliness is not inevitable.

     Citizens for a Scenic Wisconsin believes that a visually pleasant environment adds greatly to our quality of life and is also good for business, especially tourism.

     In recent years, the continued degradation of our environment and scenery has become increasingly evident. Unplanned urban sprawl has invaded peaceful scenic areas. Excessive commercialization in the form of more and bigger billboards, as well as these new LED signs in our cities, suburbs and the countryside are marring the scenic beauty of the state that we all hold dear. We are also seeing more junk, dilapidated structures and other blight that too.

     Citizens for a Scenic Wisconsin is working to reverse this trend. We advocate for improved policies and strict enforcement of existing policies that harm our scenic charm. We support our Scenic Byways and Rustic Roads. And we encourage the overall 'greening' of Wisconsin. 5You can help by becoming a member and getting involved.

     Citizens for a Scenic Wisconsin is one of many proud Affiliates of Scenic America.
